DirectAccess – Installation – Configuration in Windows Server 2016/2019

Prerequisites

Deploying and using DirectAccess requires several prerequisites:

• Being in a replicated Active Directory environment with DFS-R
• Dedicated a server to this role:
  • Member of the domain
  • The Windows firewall must be activated, it is this one that manages the transition IPv4 <-> IPv6
• Dedicate an Active Directory group for computers that use DirectAccess.
• Customers who are members of the domain:
  • Windows 7,8,8.1,10 Enterprise
  • Firewall activated

If you want to enable post authentication with a certificate, you need to set up an enterprise CA.

So that users can retrieve the DirectAccess configuration, they must be configured in the enterprise network.
